General Discussion / Re: REINSTALL nwc after computer crash
Quote from: Lawrie Pardy –
Umm, I was referring to re-purchasing NWC, not the need for a reader...  Guess I should have been more explicit.
Sorry, Lawrie. Of course I was kidding.

But, since your message went right after David's

Hint: read attentively what Mike wrote.

N.B. NWC doesn't care, but the stem direction of the 2/4 chord was wrong.

Object Plugins / Re: PageTxtMaestro.nw
I often do similar things and I never had any problem.
Hint: do you change the "page style" name for each different PageText?
I usually have them named "subtitle", "page number", "instrument" etc.

General Discussion / Fonts.ini
Fonts.ini is very good for having the fonts specific to NWC not cluttering the system font list.
Recently (...today) I had to add a font to NWC, so I added it manually to fonts.ini.
Does it exist in NWC an "official" (read: user friendly) procedure to add fonts to Fonts.ini?

General Discussion / Re: Nederlandstalige terminologie
Slur = Legatoboog
Tie = Overbinding
Beam = Waardestreep

N.B. No, I'm not fluent in Dutch at all. I can barely understand something.
In these cases I use a trick.
I look at Wikipedia in a language I know well for the exact meaning I'm looking for, then I ask for the correspondent page in the other languages.  ;)
As you can see, there is no correspondent Dutch page for Stem.  :(

This is just for information; I think implementing it in the program is too much hassle for too little.  O:)

By the way: the music notated in NWC is attached here. No need to say that it's a joke a friend of mine sent me!  :))

Well, of course the problem is the colour theme, but it's not "mine", it's the Windows 10 standard dark theme.

Thank you for the fix.

In the options->MusicXml to NWC tab, what's that black band? (see attached screenshot)

When I use "browse" to select Ultraedit for "Open NWC output file with..." my choice seems to be ignored or, at least, not remembered.

General Discussion / Re: Scripts and programs
Yes, Lawrie, as far as I know you're correct.
Just a detail: the original pascal was a semi-compiled language. The compiler used to generate the so-called "P-code", later interpreted during runtime.
Then arrived Borland Turbo Pascal...  ;)
Look here.

General Discussion / Scripts and programs
Quite often, the terms script and scripting are used as synonyms for program and programming, respectively.
The inventor of the Perl programming language, Larry Wall, tried to explain the difference between script and program in a humorous way.
Quote
Suppose you went back to Ada Lovelace and asked her the difference between a script and a program.
She’d probably look at you funny, then say something like: «Well, a script is what you give the actors, but a program is what you give the audience».
That Ada was one sharp lady…
Since her time, we seem to have gotten a bit more confused about what we mean when we say scripting.
It confuses even me, and I’m supposed to be one of the experts.
:D

User Tools / Re: Percussion splitter
A program update.
The changes are too many to be listed, hence version 2.0, but in a nutshell I can resume them as: much, much less need for manual adjust of the resulting staves.
The usage instruction are unchanged.
You can find the new code in the first message of this thread.

General Discussion / Re: Wrong verse highlighted after master repeat
Quote from: Alan_J –
I guess I'm inferring from the second piece, that the composer used the wrong symbols to signal his intent.... or the typesetter made a mistake in his manuscript interpretation.
I have no difficulty to assume something like this.  ;)
Quote from: Alan_J –
Either way, it'll print out exactly like the original and the end-user can make up their own mind how to interpret it.
Easy way out!  :))
26
General Discussion / Re: Wrong verse highlighted after master repeat
I tried to follow your reasoning by I was lost.
Could you please attach an example?

By the way: your statement puzzles me a lot.
Quote from: Alan_J –
The D.C. at end was likely intended to return to the beginning of the verses, NOT including the 2-measure repeat ad-lib at the start.
Indeed, D.C. (in music  :D ) means "da capo" that is verbatim for "from the beginning". I'd then expect to resume the whole score, including the first two measures.
If you want to resume from a different point instead of the beginning then you must use the "dal segno" that means, verbatim, "from the mark".

General Discussion / Re: Missing missing octave accidentals
Quote from: Lawrie Pardy –
I think it's because they're in octaves and thus could be correct.
Could be correct? Why?
I don't think so.
Quote from: Lawrie Pardy –
(notice that the 4th note in the 1st bar is erroneously affected by the accidental on the preceding note - this is a long time quirk of NWC):
Yes, I know that, but, let me say, it's terrible for reading at first sight.
A Vivaldi manuscript I recently notated had those orrors... (not a mistyping :) )

General Discussion / Re: Missing missing octave accidentals
Quote from: Warren Porter –
When changing a note to an octave chord, all attributes of the original note are applied to the created one.
Thanks, Warren, but usually this kind of problem arises because I'm copying from a "bugged" score.
Rarely I needed to add the octave to a long section.

By the way: for the same function there is also OctaveDoubling.nw.nwcut.lua, rg_AddOctave.php, rg_AddOctave.Lua.

General Discussion / Re: Wrong verse highlighted after master repeat
It's notorious that NWC after the D.C. or D.S. does not applies the master repeats.
Well, that's one of the two "standards" and has its reasons.  :)

What happens with the lyrics looks instead as a bug.
I'm not one of the experts mentioned by Mike but I can suggest a workaround as follows.

General Discussion / Re: Memory lost :-)
Touché!
Thank you very much, Harald.
Now I understand why I could not find it. I was looking for the wrong words.
Ah, my bad memory....
33
General Discussion / Memory lost :-)
Long, long ago I met a score for piano in which the autor, obviously a romantic  ;), wrote "to be played at full strength" and, a few bars later, "stronger".
I don't remember even if it was written in italian ("con tutta la forza", "ancora più forte") or in German.
Maybe it was Schumann or Schubert, but I'm not sure at all. Surely it is a famous one.
Can someone help my memory?  :)

Probablement tu a utilisé une vieille version del NWC. Je crois qu'il faut au moin la version 2.75.

General Discussion / Re: Caractères accentués
Es tu sûr que la faute soit de NWC?
Très probablement le texte n'est pas unicode et il est écrit avec une codepage spécifique.
J'ai vu souvent le même problème aussi avec l'Italien.
Si tu veux tu peux me passer le fichier; je te saurai ainsi dire quelque chose plus précise.

Object Plugins / Re: User object for lyric-dependent ties?
To begin with: I completely overlooked those functions. Thank you for having put them in evidence.
But I doubt those functions can be of any help.
SeenFirstEnding simply memorizes if NWC met an Ending after a MasterRepeatOpen while Ending1Context, as the name suggest, contains the play context at the moment NWC met the Ending 1.

General Discussion / Re: Eighth Special Ending
I don't know if this can be of help for you, but you can fake the master repeats.

General Discussion / Re: Trave in beamed group
Why? Because it is coded so. It's one of the limitations of NWC.
And, yes, you need to use the layering.

General Discussion / Re: Quantisation
Sûrement, si le quantification a été excessive, la chose n'est pas possible. 
Dans l'autre cas il pourrait être faisable, mais par un programme extérieur (user tool) qui, je crois, au moment n'a jamais été créé.

For sure, if the quantization has been too strong, there's no way.
In the other case it could be possible, but with an external tool  (user tool) that, I think, so far has never been made.

Yes, right that.
